   Off and On I've been looking for a SEQ/Text file I saved to a C=64 5-1/4" disk.   
      
   I Load and List the Directory of my floppies, and look to see how many Blocks   
   it uses, because it is a very large file that I wrote over a period of time.   
      
   Of course I look at the File Name too, but I think looking for the size the   
   file takes up on the disk will help me find it sooner.   
      
   I've got disks for the C-64 stuck in several boxes and actually I can't   
   remember any disk that I tried, that I couldn't see the Directory on it.   
      
   But that might be because of Old Age setting in.   
      
   I will look at a few boxes of disks each time I feel like hunting for that   
   file, then I'll come back over to the XP box since I use it as my main pc.   
      
   It would be easier if the file would just hollar and tell me where it is   
   hiding.   
      
   Try Your C=64, I'd think it would work since it boot up from ROM Chips instead   
   of from a Hard Disk or Floppy.   
      
      
   ... I used to be indecisive - now I'm not so sure!!
